A Instant Green for Super Stock

My line of thinking is that IF the slower car anticipates the instant green and gets it right,they may have a "chance" to win a heads up race. Lots of no prep racing is done like that. And the slower car "sometimes" gets lucky and wins.

I could see that, but don’t agree that a system that rewards completely lucky guessing is the proper direction for the sport.

I definitely see your point,but the success percentage would be quite low for guessing on the tree.

It's really similar to a strategy of a Hail Mary pass or pulling the goalie in hockey.

I'm not much of a soccer fan,but I did see the shootout in the last game of the World Cup.That net is so big,that the goalkeeper is basically guessing which way to jump.A random guess and blind luck.

The way it is now is that the (MUCH) slower car has basically no chance.Their only hope is to get their car fast enough to maybe trigger the other car to get horsepower for a future race.

And now,people want to take that away.

My way of thinking with the deep staging allowed for all.
The Racers who win the most are the racers who race the most and spend the most money in expenses just to win the Championship for the purse of a measly $10,000 In my opinion, using instant green

Red Lights will be less of a factor now so the racers who don't race as much with financial restrictions or the States where there are no more race tracks can at least have a little better chance of winning a few rounds

I am just thinking out loud freezing here in Baltimore

I would only be in favor of the instant green in heads up runs.

If you are going to have instant green and deep staging,might as well have delay boxes permitted as said earlier and leave it the way it is now.

Guys, class racing has a TON of problems that need addressed, the tree isn't one of them.
